The 2024 Outrigger Challenge Cup was an international futsal tournament organized by the Marshall Islands Soccer Federation, and was hosted in Majuro from 22 to 24 July.[1] Six teams took part in the tournament. It was originally announced as the Men's Futsal Series to be played against Micronesia,[2] but after Kiribati's participation was announced, the name changed to the Outrigger Challenge Cup.[3]
The Marshall Islands played its first-ever international of any football code during the tournament, while Micronesia fielded its first-ever national futsal side.[4] Kiribati defeated the Marshall Islands in the final.[5] The tournament final was broadcast on YouTube using cameras controlled by artificial intelligence.[6][7]
